Clayton Moore perhaps could never be dethroned as the best Lone Range EVER. Hokey as their episodes are I can still watch the old lone Ranger and Tonto galloping on Silver and Scout to help the oppressed.

That said, for a few years now, I have had this idea that we needed a Hollywood remake that adults would enjoy too. One that would get a Batman treatment for a darker, edgier Lone Ranger. This Lone Ranger would shoot to kill, instead of just shooting the guns out of the bad guys' hand. I really hope that Hollywood will not cop out on this.

I doubt that Disney or Bruckheimer would cast Olyphant in a big budget remake. He's never shown the ability to carry a film.

Worthington is gearing up for Avatar 2 & 3, which will be shot simultaneously, has the "Commando" remake, Clash of the Titans 2 and "Quatermain" on his busy schedule, so I'd guess that's not an option.

There's no way they cast two TV stars in a $100 million dollar plus film to play with Johnny Depp. No way.

And Aaron Ekhart has about as much appeal as Bill Pullman. He's a one note actor that couldn't carry any of the films he's been cast as lead.
